I use both. GIMP is still good

My problem with Rust is that I find refactoring really painful.

I really like Python. The only thing I don’t want to do with Python is support a large code base. Lack of strict typing makes refactoring awful

When I worked as a PM that’s what I used to do - daily check in about any obstacles that I could clear. Took me a little while to get around everyone but it didn’t waste everyone’s time

Coders who complain about documenting and tests are coders I don’t want to work with

I also learned C on the Amiga. I loved SAS C. I also came across C++ first on the Amiga when it was just a pre processor for C. I really loved that machine but it was the community that was special

Yeah. Can I get a book - usually something official like K&R for C.

Try being a programmer in the 90s. Just like that but with no entries at all

Yes, I was using Rustrover the last time I used Rust. VSCode previously. I’ve tried to get into Rust a few times and really just failed repeatedly. Ill probably try again at some point but my experience thus far hasn’t been great

I actually reasonably like Go. It’s simple and pragmatic but I fucking loathe its error handling. To me it just replicates one of the worst features of C

I think I’d rather code in Go than Rust. But I’m not a great Rust programmer so my opinion may not count. I can code effectively in C, C++, Go, Java, C#, Python, and a few others, but Rust is the only language that I find hard to use. I’m probably just dumb

If I’m going to inherit a large code base to maintain, I’d like Java, C# the most, Python, the least. Go isnt too bad IMO. I’ve not worked with enough Rust code to really judge it. BTW I like Python but lack of types makes refactoring and discoverability harder

BS comparison

It’s slow if your server is slow but fair point about a CLI

I think the tldr; of what you said is that even when you have a theoretical handle on the growth function, you still need to actually benchmark anyway

That’s fair, it’s very configurable so I guess you can do that badly

Manager lead process is often bad process, for sure

I’ve done Telephony, Games and I’m currently working in a high performance context. 99% of the time, you don’t need to be thinking about Big O

There’s a lot of software engineering that doesn’t require understanding Big O

I don’t get the hate for Jira
